The second day of MotoGP winter testing at the Sepang Circuit saw Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP team confirming the positive sensations from the opening session, with both riders securing a place in the top ten.
Miguel Oliveira posted early in the morning the eighth-fastest time of the day with a lap of 1'57"971, while teammate Jack Miller rounded out the top ten with a best effort of 1'58"005.
Both riders continued refining the set-up of the YZR-M1, experimenting with different chassis configurations and electronics work to improve their comfort on the bike. With increasing mileage under their belts, the focus expanded beyond set-up adjustments to long-run testing, allowing the team to analyze tire consumption and overall bike behavior over extended distances. Miller took the opportunity to complete a Sprint simulation in the morning, while Oliveira tackled a race-distance simulation in the afternoon. However, intermittent rain forced Oliveira to split his test into two stints.
With two days of testing completed, the final session at Sepang awaits before Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP heads to Thailand for the last two winter test days at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram. The Thai venue will also play host to the opening round of the MotoGP season on March 2nd, setting the stage for an exciting year ahead.
